Porsche engineers know this, so they decided to tune the 911 Carrera T to sing like nothing else on the road. Going back to basics, the Carrera T uses lightweight parts from the GT series cars along with less insulation. The result is a curb weight of 3,142 lbs if you opt for the manual transmission.Related Cars For SaleAll Porsches For Sale911 GT2911 GT3911 GT3 RS911 R911 Turbo S918 SpyderCarrera GTCayman GT4PanameraPorsche Unveils the 911 Carrera T: The Lightest 911 CarreraEngineers in Stuttgart fired up several vintage Porsches to study their exhaust notes. The result is a tuned system that sounds and performs better than anything the aftermarket can offer. A tuned manifold has unequal length tubes coming from each cylinder. This might seem counterintuitive … [Read more...] about 2018 Porsche 911 Carrera T Exhaust Symphony

When you purchase a car as exciting as a Porsche 911 GT3, you’d want the ability to personalise your vehicle the way you see fit, which is where the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur programme comes into action. To showcase just what the bespoke department of Porsche is capable of, Sime Darby Auto Performance (SDAP) has commissioned three 911 GT3 cars exclusively for the Malaysian market, featured in Meissen Blue, Signal Green and Riviera Blue. The unique touches aren’t limited to the exterior either, as work has been done to enhance the interior according to the owners’ preferences. This includes a leather interior package with extended Alcantara detailing, illuminated carbon door sill guards, body-coloured air-con vents and Guards Red detailing for the instrument dials, seat belts and Sport Chrono clock. “To further enhance our customer experience, we specified three very unique 911 GT3 cars to give owners the chance to own a thoroughbred performance Porsche … [Read more...] about Porsche 911 GT3

To you and I, the R8 RWS is just another version of Audi's mid-engined supercar - RWS stands for Rear Wheel Series, which indicates the removal of the front driveshafts. This is the first rear-driven R8 and it'll be limited to 999 units worldwide, split across Coupe and Spyder body styles. The R8 range grows a little; life goes on. But within the boardrooms and offices of Audi Sport, the R8 RWS must seem like an enormous gamble. In fact, we know it's an enormous gamble for Audi because it's taken the company twelve years to take it. For one thing, building a rear-wheel drive version of a halo model undermines the core brand value Audi has spent the last few decades cultivating. If we all drive the RWS and say it's more enjoyable than the existing R8, what on earth does that say about Quattro? It's like Tesla turning its back on batteries and electric motors altogether and fitting its next model with a stinking great V8 instead. And for another, even more troubling thing, by producing … [Read more...] about Audi R8 RWS vs Porsche 911 GT3

Once again, a 992-generation Porsche 911 test mule has been spotted out in the wild, and this time our spy photographers indicate that it could be the next-generation GT3 hiding beneath what we can determine thus far to be the Turbo body, equipped with the side scoops ahead of the rear wheels. Compared between prototypes, the GT3 mule here differs from the 992 Turbo mule seen earlier, where the latter was spotted wearing quad trapezoidal tailpipes as opposed to the one-a-side items here that are much larger in diameter. Further visual cues include the centre-locking wheels, which are standard on the GT3 but optional on the Turbo; the 992 Turbo prototype was seen testing with five-lug wheels. The test mule here would likely be powered by turbocharged engine, according to our spy photographers, and the bodywork appears to be in line with that observation as the separate, twin exhaust outlets on this car are akin to those on the GT2 RS rather than the centrally-mounted exhausts on the … [Read more...] about SPIED: 992 Porsche 911 GT3 hiding in Turbo clothes

It appears that the official images for the latest, 991-generation Porsche 911 GT2 RS have leaked online ahead of its expected debut in Goodwood at the Festival of Speed. Here, we have what are the best views yet of the latest hardcore 911’s posterior. Porsche hasn’t been absolutely specific with the GT2 RS’ output figures since its unveiling at E3 in Las Vegas earlier this month, though the marque has said its 3.8 litre twin-turbo flat-six will have more than 641 hp and 750 Nm of torque. These outputs are channeled to the rear wheels exclusively, via a dual-clutch transmission with an electronically controlled LSD. Consequently, its performance figures are similarly fluid, though Porsche says the GT2 RS will do 0-100 km/h in under three seconds, 0-200 km/h in under nine, with a top speed of over 338 km/h. This being a GT series car, particular attention has been paid towards weight reduction. A Weissach pack equips the GT2 RS with magnesium wheels 12 kg lighter … [Read more...] about Porsche 911 GT2 RS
